detergents, steel scourers, scrapers or any abrasive, acidic or aggressive substances which

could damage the surfaces of the vacuum chamber irreparably.

PRELIMINARY NOTES

VACUUM PACKING USING BAGS

Vacuum bags are suitable for packing non-delicate food products which are not easily

crushed, such as meat, cold cuts, hard cheese, pulses, etc. and they can also store liquid

foodstuffs.

The bags are available in two different sizes: 20x30 cm and 25x35 cm, and can be purchased

from after-sales service on the website.

Store the bags in a cool, dry place, away from sources of light and heat.

Vacuum bags are disposable: after use, discard them, complying with local regulations on

the disposal of plastics.

Choose the bag according to the use (preservation or cooking), suitable to the sizes of the

product:

SOLID PRODUCT SHOULD NOT OCCUPY MORE THAN 2/3 OF

THE ACTUAL VOLUME OF THE BAG

LIQUID PRODUCT SHOULD NOT OCCUPY MORE THAN THE 1/3

OF THE VOLUME OF THE BAG

Note: introduce sufficiently cold foods; products cooled to 3°C (refrigerator temperature) provide the

best preservation results.

VACUUM PACKING USING CONTAINERS

(Not included into the product)

Vacuum containers are useful for storing delicate foods which easily crushes, and for storing

liquid foodstuffs.

These containers are not suitable for cooking and to be stored in the freezer. For better

performances it’s necessary to use the specific cycle for containers only. Choose a container

suitable to the vacuum, that can enter the vacuum chamber and that, once inserted, remains

at approximately 1 cm from the closed lid of the packaging machine. Insert the product into

the container and close it.

STORAGE OF VACUUM PACKED FOODS

Here are some important rules to follow for perfect results in the kitchen. Do not try to

vacuum pack foods which are already old or nutritionally lacking: you cannot recover quality

which has already been lost. Only vacuum pack fresh, quality produce.

• Food which has been kept at ambient temperature for an excessive period of time or

which has only just been cooked or prepared, loses its initial moisture and properties

(colour, aroma, flavour, etc.). Consequently, it is best to vacuum pack food which has

been chilled at lenght in the refrigerator until its temperature reaches +3/+6 °C (standard

refrigerator temperature).

• When using vacuum bags for raw and cooked foods, remember to distribute food evenly

inside the bags to facilitate removal of air. In addition, do not overfill the bags since

this can interfere with sealing, resulting in bags which are not airtight. In this case the

vacuum would not last: repeat the procedure with a new bag and check the seal has no

openings or damage.

• Fill the bags 2/3 full at most for solid food or 1/3 full in case of liquid food or food rich in

humidity.

• It’s important to dry fruit and vegetables after washing, in order to prevent stagnation of

liquid inside bags or containers. Condensation could decrease the vacuum level once the

bag has been sealed.

• To preserve fresh meat for a prolonged period of time, chill it in the refrigerator for at

least 2 hours.

• As regards fish, first of all wash it thoroughly, scale it and remove the fins, dry it and then,

as with meat, chill it properly before vacuum packing it.

• For mature cheeses, like parmigiano reggiano, pecorino, etc. no preparation is necessary,

while for fresh cheeses, wrap them in cling film or use a vacuum container to prevent

them being squashed.

• For cold cuts in containers and in vacuum packed bags, no particular preparation is

necessary.

• Storage time depends on a number of factors, including the original quality of the food

stored, the storage temperature, the refrigeration time in the case of cooked foods, the

vacuum level achieved and the quality of the vacuum bag used.

FUNCTIONS

VACUUM BAG MODE

1. Push to open the drawer.

2. Press the

button for 2 seconds to exit the energy saving state.

3. Open the lid, making sure the vacuum chamber is dry. When placing food in the bag, take

care not to get the bag dirty or wet next to the opening, as this could

result in an ineffective seal.

4. Place the bag, centred on the sealing bar, in a way that the open

edge projects by about 2 cm with respect to the bar itself.

5. Make sure that the edges are positioned on the bar without any

wrinkles or folds.

6. Close the lid and hold it down while at the same time selecting the

bag cycle. Keep the lid pressed down for a few moments. In this way

the lid will remain shut and tight to the seal for the duration of the

cycle.

7. Press

to select the Vacuum bag cycle.

8. Tap

to set the desired sealing level (you can select three different

levels). The higher the level of sealing chosen, the longer the sealing

time (see the Sealing Mode paragraph below).

For the preservation of food and for vacuum cooking, the use of level 2 or 3 is

recommended.

9. Press

START

. The Vacuum bag cycle is started. An acoustic signal (short

beep) is emitted on cycle start and at the end.

Every cycle can be stopped in advance by pressing the

STOP

button . In this case, the machine

will not proceed with sealing and the chamber will be decompressed.

Wait for approximately 20 seconds and the acoustic signal before starting another cycle.

SOUS-VIDE FOR CHEF FUNCTION

With this special chef function touch button is possible to activate an automatic cycle

ideal for three different special preparations: Marinade, Infusion, Maturation.

Once the pack has been prepared inside the vacuum chamber as described in the

“Preliminary notes” chapter, close the lid exerting a slight pressure on the front (follow the

previous steps from 1 to 6).

1. Press

to select the Sous-Vide chef function cycle.

2. Tap

to set the desired sealing level. The higher the level of sealing chosen, the longer

the sealing time.

For the preservation of food and for vacuum cooking, the use of level 2 or 3 is recommended.

3. Press

START

. The chef vacuum cycle is started. An acoustic signal (short beep) is emitted

on cycle start and at the end.

The cycle proceeds automatically in the following order:

• The evacuation phase is signalled by the luminous indicator of the key flashing.

• The sealing phase is signalled by the luminous indicator key on.

• During the successive unload phase, all of the luminous indicators go back to initial

switch-on situation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIAL PREPARATIONS

Marinade

By vacuum-sealing the taste of the marinade is greatly intensified, since flavours do not

oxidize. The herbs and spices can work directly and in a very concentrated form on the food.

Marinate your food as in your usual manner but in the vacuum bags and then vacuum seal

it with the vacuum drawer. With this special preparation you can reach extra taste in a while

with less seasoning. (eg.: ideal for Meat or Fish Marinade)

Infusion

Fill the vacuum bag with cold liquids (at refrigerator temperature 3-4 °C) and the aromas/

seasonings that have to infuse the flavours.

Running an infusion cycle the aromas penetrate quickly inside the liquid thanks to a

dedicated sequence of vacuum extractions in the chamber. Vacuum infusions take the

shortest amount of time and tend to create less bitter, more aromatic and delicate infusions.

With this special preparation you can reach more aromatic and delicate infusions. (eg.: Spicy /

Aromatic Oil; Fruit juices and coulis; Syrups and concentrates)

Maturation

This cycle allows to submit pieces of beef at the pressure of a sequence of vacuum phases in

order to break down the meat’s connective tissue, making it more tender. You can also add

spices, herbs, oil and other ingredients.

Insert pieces of fresh meat in the vacuum bags and start the special cycle. The sequence of

vacuum phases makes an action that helps to break the connective tissues.

The more the food stays in vacuum conditions and the better the maturation works. Keep

the bags between 2 to 5 days t a fridge temperature between 0-2°C. (eg.: Piece of meat or

preparation of salted meat, thin slices of beef)

SEALING MODE

A perfect seal is essential in order to maintain the vacuum conditions in the bag.

This can be identified by a clearly visible seal with no sign of any burns. The machine by

default is set to the medium sealing level which is the most commonly used and suitable for

traditional vacuum bags.

Moreover, check the effectiveness of the seal: after sealing, it must not be possible to pull the

edges of the bag apart. If this is not the case, transfer the food into another bag and repeat

the vacuum packing procedure.

For optimum management of bags and food contained in them, write the packing date and contents on

the space provided above the seal and return it to the refrigerator or freezer.
